But there were no hot dogs so fuck this place!

Pulled into a half filled lot just before 8:15 thinking WTF as the lifts start rolling at 9!? Seconds later @JFskiDan pulled in next to me thinking the same thing. Painless issue of Indy pass and waiting for mountain host to give us the green light, a hundred or so race kids fly by us explaining all the cars in the lot. They let season pass holders start at 8:30 which is pretty cool, a few minutes before 9:00 we were off, working the north side skiers left to right. Temp was a cold 40d under overcast skies. Snow was soft Cornish cord that held up pretty well as we worked our way across. I started out tele that was pretty fun but challenging on a few of the steeper pitches, thanks for waiting Dan lol. after we hit everything down low it was rinse and repeat, I swapped out skis and we took a ride up top on the iron horse. We watched the race kids from above struggling with tough conditions. At the top we remarked about the troegs shack and the lifty said they open at 11. back down bottom the snow was holding up, just a little choppy here and there. The lift not so much as it was stopping every ride for 5 minutes or so. Worked our way across for another round, figured we were pressing our luck and headed back up top for a beer. Troegs wasn’t opened so we headed back to the trucks for a beer and some of Benm’s Reese’s chips ahoy and peaced out around noon. Fun morning with a change of scenery with better snow and less crowds than Blue #IndyRevolutiion

@AtomicSkierwe need a hot dog! Emoji

Gonna hit Montage this morning with @JFskiDanif anyone wants to join, @toast21602???

Nice looks crowded!

I need to at least get some uphill days at Shawnee soon. Hoping @JFskiDan can join for one midweek. TFTI, thinking of bugging out of work one (this?) Friday afternoon to do a lap or two

It sure was nice seeing everything coated in white. Magic today, natural trails were pretty ski’d off but fun, migrated back to the groomed with fun little bump line forming along the edge of the race training slope

Nice we were on the other side of the hill at Pico

Thursday night forecast was calling for 6-10 at Gore, drove through rain until it turned to snow just south of Lake George. Drove through some Star Wars snow on the way to the hill Friday morning, only about 3” fell but first few freshly coated groomers were sublime, Lies opened up mid morning and was mad technical navigating wales , rocks and bumps. Mild temps, falling snow, low crowds and watching kids from all over the world huck their meat in the World University games made for a great day! Pico ski’d awesome today, 7or so inches groomed in for some early morning western groometish screamers before lapping summit glades au natural until legs and snow got beat up. Heard crowds at K were krazy, we had another day of country club skiing. Christened the new skis with a nice gash but as @indiggio says, outta the box and into the rocks ! Magic tomorrow on Indy Pass

we did Friday night ski club there for years. The food was done by an outside vendor and a really nice family, great fresh cut fries and they even baked a cake for one of the kids birthdays one year...

wtf no morning report today ?!?!?! how am I supposed to "work" ?!?!?

saw these on the tgrz and immediately thought of @Johnny Law

yup $80 with the passholders discount, if you bought the skis or binders at blue it's half I think

cool looking forward to another great TR and and pics!

Was looking for you guys…

WJW @RidgeRacer you always seem to see conditions through rose colored glasses, you must have gotten spoiled in AZ, lol! I thought tonight’s conditions were pretty good, some piles to bounce through but everything was edgable and fast’ish. I would have done more runs, the issue for me wasn’t the snow but the clusters of goobers skiing in every direction

nastar night anyone? @AtomicSkier@Johnny Law @nastarglenn @Dirtwolf

faaaack, anyone wanna ride bikes?

In college I spent a semester in Rome and when school was done a buddy and I went to Kitzbuhel to ski. When we arrived there was no snow and were told the only snow was the glacier in Kaprun so we hopped on a train to Zellam See

Scary thing is it ran again after that, hopefully just firing up the diesel?

might have to do a Friday am session before work

Me and Mrs S were stuck about a foot from the top platform for maybe 15 mins, I think TPhead was a few chairs behind us, .

Whew that was a close one
